To recap: me, Cat, Jessica, Aline and Kim joined forces with the OC Chapter of Team in Training to train for the LA Marathon on March 2, 2008 and to simultaneously raise money towards finding a cure for Luekemia & Lymphoma.
Kate, Claire and Andrea have and continue to train and run with us, and Andrea is also doing the LA Marathon.
Big THANKS and MUCH LOVE to the following people and vendors who contributed to last night's success:
- Cat and Rob (aka MVP) for having this event in their gorgeous home - Rob got MVP for being the master fondue chef and Cat did SO MUCH on her own behind the scenes without complaining, what a lady!
- Jennifer Johnson for her wonderful event planning skills
- Flower Allie for the dreamy centerpieces
- Corey (aka Kim's hubbers) for being the best bartender west of the rockies
- LA Nesties who made the long drive to be there for us and show their support and to conspire to win 50% of the raffle items (well, 80% of them did anyway)
- La Fondue, the Winery Restaurant, Condom Revolution, California Pizza Kitchen, Red Robin, Mimi's Cafe for being only SOME of the great contributors of raffle items.
- Ralphs for the huge financial support that went to supply the food and wine for the event
- 10yearstogether for assembling the chocolate fountain
- our husbands and OC NESTIES who continue to support us as we train for the big race. Thanks for being there last night, and for those of you who couldn't make it but wanted to, we still thank you!
We're running with our hearts, minds and bodies with the hopes that our efforts will one day find a cure for Luekemia, Lymphoma and all blood cancers - God help us!
